I know it's easy to forget that PA is the 5th most populous state. This is actually a surprisingly short list.

My first thought is an AI bot could research and write this in an instant. Add links to paid content. Profit.

Actors. She’s an actress no matter what they are forcing everyone to say and think.
There’s a link in the article for actresses from PA and she’s on there. https://stacker.com/pennsylvania/famous-actresses-pennsylvania

Turns out it's actually Lattimer in Hazle township, about 25 miles from Mountain Top. I was going by what my dad and grandfather told me when I was a kid. So close!

Richard Gere is from Philadelphia - and has family ties to Montrose, PA (Susquehanna County). He came here a few years ago to support the local movie theater and talk to the community.

Very cool and educational list. As someone born and living in the Commonwealth, I'd like to renounce both Will Smith and Dan Cortes.

Is it noticeable that there were no females performers on this list? It was noted as “actors” but that is the general term for an on-screen performer these days, correct? Other commenters listed Grace Kelly, Tina Fey, Sharon Stone, etc.

I did not know that Kevin Bacon was from Philly.
PS: I actually thought Stallone was from Philly too. Color me surprised that he's actually from Hell's Kitchen in New York; he moved to Philly later when he was in high school.
